This morning, Roma revolutionized the current structure of Serie A by opting for the strong choice of sacking coach Daniele De Rossi and decided to replace him with Ivan Juricwho has been out of action for a couple of months following the end of his previous contract with Torino.
The Croatian coach signs a one-year deal with an automatic renewal option linked to reaching the next Champions Leaguealmost a ‘project’ contract, in short: if he doesn’t reach the objective it is difficult to think that he will be confirmed. But time will tell: in the meantime we will have to take the reins of the operations at Trigoria and try to reorganize everything.
Moreover, the very headquarters of the Giallorossi sports center, Trigoria, had been the scene of a moment of tension at a distance between Juric himself, who was the coach of Torino, and the company he is preparing to take over. It was the end of last February, a few days after the match between the two teams in Serie A, and a collaborator of Juric, Michele Orecchio, was ‘caught’ on the hills around the Fulvio Bernardini Sports Center to spy on Roma’s final training session. And it wasn’t even the first time, given that in April 2023 the same Orecchio had been seen by Nuno Santos, assistant to Jose Mourinho, in possession of high-tech devices to view the session.
